# Home Assistant
|
|
|
|
Home automation platform that integrates with hundreds of smart home devices and services.
|
|
|
|
## Access
|
|
|
|
- **URL**: https://homeassistant.kolpacksoftware.com
|
|
- **Local**: http://localhost:8123 (if needed)
|
|
|
|
## Initial Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the URL above
|
|
2. Create your admin account on first launch
|
|
3. Follow the onboarding wizard to:
|
|

## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- **Data directory**: `/srv/home-assistant/`
|
|
- **Config file**: `/srv/home-assistant/configuration.yaml`
|
|
- **Logs**: `docker logs home-assistant`
|
|
|
|
## Network Considerations
|
|
|
|
The container runs on `npm-network` and connects through the nginx reverse proxy.
|
|
|
|
**For device discovery**: Some integrations (like HomeKit, mDNS-based devices) work best with host networking. If you encounter discovery issues:
|
|
|
|
1. Stop the container via Portainer
|
|
2. Edit `docker-compose.yml` and replace the networks section with:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
network_mode: host
|
|
```
|
|
3. Remove the VIRTUAL_HOST environment variables (not needed with host mode)
|
|
4. Redeploy via Portainer
|
|
5. Configure nginx-proxy-manager manually to proxy to localhost:8123
|
|
|
|
